The ramifications have not yet hit, but they will: mighty oaks from little acorns grow. Let's face it, recent media coverage has shown that ACORN has been exposed as an organization with some openly corrupt employees. Additional revelations are likely as we learn how ACORN went through unusual contortions to register voters such as Mickey Mouse and the starting lineup of the Dallas Cowboys. More troubling still is the fact that Democrats in Congress have not only blindly supported ACORN, but took the additional and unpardonable step of funneling millions of dollars of taxpayer money to ACORN, allowing them to expand their dodgy enterprises, and only voted to cancel that funding after the media exposed ACORN's activities.
At the very least, Democrats have some explaining to do. A good first step would be to stop suppressing the call from Congressman Issa for a full investigation. Sooner or later President Obama should explain what he did as an attorney representing ACORN in the Illinois "motor voter" case, why Tony Foulkes stated that "Obama and ACORN are old friends" and why President Obama was so unaware of the growing corruption within parts of ACORN.
